Populism in EU: Integration Challenges
European politics is undergoing profound change, driven by the rise of populism. Traditional political parties are losing popularity, while new populist parties and movements are gaining influence. This change is accompanied by an increasing focus on direct democracy and a rise in identity politics, which is contributing to a greater polarisation of political discourse. The rise of these populist issues and movements, including in the Czech Republic two decades after its accession to the EU, raises important questions about the democratic values that the EU has long upheld.
